WATCH: The Vivianne Miedema effect! Southampton's Lexi Lloyd-Smith can't hide excitement after swapping shirts with hero and Arsenal icon issues classy response

Arsenal and Southampton played their first competitive match on Thursday night, and both teams definitely lived up to the hype. The game ended 2-1 for the Women's Super League giants with an injury-time goal from Amanda Ilestedt. After the match, Lloyd-Smith and Miedema swapped jerseys, and the Saints' star was left jumping and celebrating in joy.

Miedema responded to the tweet by Southampton with a photo of her in Lloyd-Smith's jersey.

After Arsenal failed to clear the ball, Southampton did have a second opportunity to tie the score. Unfortunately for the Saints, Molly Pike took a rather tame shot, and Sabrina D'Angelo made an easy save. Although the outcome did not meet their expectations, Southampton will be delighted with the record attendance of 13,438 people.

Arsenal's Miedema may make her first start since returning from injury when the Gunners take on their fellow Londoners, West Ham on Sunday, November 26.
